Other countries have changed laws requiring all crossings be gated and or have signalling. The cheap solution is to blow the horn.
Switzerland took 20 years to update most of its 4440 train crossings to meet federal requirements. 97% meet this standard as of today. The reason for the upgrade was not to reduce the annoyance of horns but to save lives which it does.
